How food security works here
- 1
Know the local authority for food
In the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, the Abu Dhabi Agriculture & Food Safety Authority is the local authority in charge of agriculture, food safety, food security and biosecurity. It is responsible for preparing plans, programmes and activities in the field of agriculture, food safety and food security.
- 2
Understand local food production
Local farming supports the country's food needs. The wheat farm in Mleiha, Sharjah, was launched in 2022 to provide food needs and raise production rates to cover the needs of Sharjah's cities and regions.

See how self-sufficiency is being built
The national system for sustainable agriculture aims to improve the efficiency of farms, enhance self-sufficiency in food and create new opportunities to ensure that the agriculture sector is always ranked among the best.

Recognise certified organic food
The Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology (ESMA), now the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology, introduced an organic food certification scheme. Food that is certified to be organic will bear a logo letting consumers easily distinguish them when shopping.
